Elien Hanselaer works as an actor and theatre-maker in United Kingdom and Belgium. She studied acting at School of Arts/KASK (Belgium) and East 15 acting school. In September 2018, Elien started an artistic, practise-based research on actor-actor connection at Queen's University Belfast. The research looks at how performers connect, how they can connect better and what kind of different theatre can be made from a radically changing methodology based on co-performer empathy. Elien focusses on the feminine aspect of theatre, seeking ritual,
spirituality and community in her work. Actor credits include Afropean (KVS); Europe in autumn (Malpertuis), Blue on Blue (Moya productions); The Hundred We Are (Hobo Theatre at The Yard); King Lear (Dash Arts); Heaven in Berlin (Hobo Theatre at Testbed1); The Judgement (Odin Teatret); La Turista: Cafe Duende (Hobo Theatre at Morito Tapas); Pic-Nic (Les ballets c de la b and KASK); Zwijn/Zwaan (NTGent and KASK). Directing credits include Witt'n Camp, Fighetta (Vesta) , Gat (Lhommmm), Velo (KASK).
Elien was awarded the Northern Bridge award to fund her research in co-performer empathy in 2018. Besides theatre, she is involved in butoh dance and Argentine Tango which have a strong influence on her own shows.
